A personal trainer in the Philippines who comes to you
A Fit Bud coach travels to your home, condo gym, village clubhouse or park where a coach is within reach, and coaches you online everywhere else in the Philippines. The first session ends with a written plan you keep. Transport is charged by distance, and you get a quote after a short assessment.
Anywhere in the Philippines. In-person coaching where a coach is within reach; online coaching everywhere else. In person in Pampanga, Bulacan, Tarlac, Bataan, Metro Manila and Laguna; online across the Philippines.
Your first session
- Consultation: your week, your goal, any pain or history
- Movement screen: squat, hinge, push, pull, carry, balance
- Goals agreed and written down
- A written plan you keep
Transport charged by distance. Quote after a short assessment.
What a first session includes
The first session is mostly listening and watching. The coach asks about your week, your health and what you want, then runs a movement screen, which is a short set of basic movements (a squat, a hinge, a push, a pull, standing on one leg) to see what is stiff, weak or sore.
You agree on goals together and they get written down. Before the coach leaves you have a written plan: what to do on the days the coach is there, and what to do on the days they are not. If there is time, the first gentle workout happens the same day.
Nobody is made to feel sick on day one, and nobody is sold a package before they have met the coach.
Read about personal training at home
Where the coach trains you
Wherever you already are. The coach brings bands, dumbbells or kettlebells as agreed in your plan; you bring the floor and a mat.
- Your home
- A sala with the sofa pushed back, a garage, a terrace. Two by two metres and a mat is enough.
- Your condo gym
- The coach plans around the machines and free weights your building actually has.
- Your village clubhouse
- Most subdivisions have a clubhouse or covered court residents can use for a session.
- A public park
- Early mornings before the heat, for conditioning and walking-based programmes.
- A gym you already use
- Already paying for a membership? The coach meets you there and works on the bar and machines.

Anywhere in the Philippines
In person where a coach is within reach: the coach is based in Pampanga and drives to Bulacan, Tarlac, Bataan, Zambales, Nueva Ecija, Metro Manila, Laguna, Cavite and Rizal. Everywhere else, from Cebu to Davao, coaching is online and nobody is flown in for a session.
A transportation charge applies to in-person sessions and is quoted by distance. There is no price list: you get a quote after a short assessment.
What people ask before they book
Twelve questions are answered on the FAQ page. These are the five that come up most.
How much does a personal trainer with Fit Bud cost?
There is no price list. Every quote follows a short assessment, because a beginner doing two sessions a week at home in Angeles is a different job from a small group in Laguna. The blog has an article on what moves the price. Send the form and you get a quote in writing.
Do you cover my area, and how does the transport charge work?
Anywhere in the Philippines. In-person coaching where a coach is within reach (Pampanga, Bulacan, Tarlac, Bataan, Metro Manila, Laguna and nearby Luzon), with a transportation charge quoted by distance, one charge per session so a small group shares it. Everywhere else, including the Visayas and Mindanao, coaching is online and there is no transport charge.
What equipment do I need at home?
About two by two metres of floor and a mat. The coach brings bands, dumbbells or kettlebells as agreed in the plan. If you have a condo gym or your own gym, the coach plans around what is there.
Do I need a doctor’s clearance?
Yes if you are pregnant, have a heart condition, uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent surgery, a diagnosed bone condition or a recent fall. Otherwise the consultation covers your history. When in doubt, ask your doctor first; the coach will ask you to.
How soon will I see results?
It depends on the person, the goal and how consistent the weeks are. Most people find they feel stronger and sleep better within a few weeks; changes you can see in the mirror take longer. We do not promise a number by a date.
